500 Days of Teenage Love

Cherry Soft

So tonight, Im gonna find a way to make it, without you- Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart

"Say lil bro. Don't come up in here bringing your little unhappy ass. Cheer up." My big sister, Daphne, shoved my shoulder and sat on top of her office desk. She worked as a secretary in a criminal justice office for some big time lawyer.

"My bad. Whats up with you?" She sighed and pointed at stacks of paper on her desk and gave me a 'see-this-shit' look.

"The man has so many cases, hes making me find out info. And guess what hes doing right now. In his office having sex with one of the other secretaries. Blah. And hes married too with three kids. Sad stuff."

"It is," I mumble sitting in a chair in front of her desk.

"Let me guess. You're still down?" I simply shrug and look at the floor.

"I mean, it's not easy getting over someone."

"I never said it was easy. Everyone once in their life is going to go through a heartbreak. Some people might take longer than others. Some over a simple guy or girl that never noticed them, others over a loved one dying. But if you can get over a broken heart in a few weeks, you're lying to yourself. "

Wednesday, February 8th

It was quiet in the library and nobody seemed to be around. Except for Sam and I. She was the first thing I noticed when I walked in. As always, she was looking gorgeous. I couldn't help but stare at her.

I couldn't define what we were. We had been texting, talking on the phone, and hanging out with each other. But she had told me on the phone she thought love was stupid and relationships were. They were a waste of time and nobody ends up being happy. I couldn't agree with her since I never really gotten hurt. I hurt every other girls feelings I have gone out with though. But, I did the stupid thing you do when you really like a girl. Agree with her.

I walked toward the section where they kept history books which she was by. I guess she was doing the same research project I was.

I stood a few inches in front of her scanning the books. I look at her from the corner of my eye and saw she was looking at me from the corner of hers. She looked up and smiled at me. I smiled back and turned to the books. From the corner of my eye, I noticed she started walking toward me. I turned my face to stare at her and watched her. She stood in front of me and simply bit her lips and look down.

"Whats-." I felt her lips on mine and closed my eyes. Damn. My hands wrapped around her waist and hers around my neck. Her lips were soft and I could taste a little cherry on it. She pulled back after a few seconds and pecked my lips again. She unwrapped her hands from my neck and went to get a book off a rack. I just watched her every move, still a little shocked. She passed me and gave me a soft smile and chuckle.

This girl is the one I want.

"Come on! It's fun. Just try it, babe. Promise, it will be fun. Just...come on!" I tugged Sam's arm and watched as she sighed and pouted.

"I'm scared," she mumbled. I pull her to me and give her a soft kiss.

"Of course you're going to be. It's a haunted house." She nods and kisses me softly and pulls at my lips causing me to groan.

"YO! Lovebirds, come on. We're ready!" Jay B screams at us. He's standing outside the entrance, his arms wrapped around Sasha who he now went out. They we're a dope couple. Yvette was there also with her boyfriend. We kind of formed into a group of friends.

"Lets go," I say and pull Sam along to them.

"You're such a punk!" Daphne says to me hitting my chest. Its later that night and we're sitting in her apartment living room watching movies and eating pizza.

"Ha,what you mean?" I rub my chest to tease her and pretend I'm going to hit her back.

"You're falling for this girl. It's obvious, bro. Admit it. You're over here bragging to my lonely self about how you walked her home after the haunted house, movies, and a dinner."

"I mean, naw. I just like her a lot."

"Well, listen. Just be careful. I don't want you to break another girl's heart."

"Yeah, I promise I won't." I softly nudge her arm and wink at her.

But it was too late because Sam had broken my heart before she could break mine.
